Turn a tiny investment into a fortune in Startups, a compact travel board game from Oink Games where clever card play, hidden information and sharp reading of your opponents can make you the wealthiest shareholder at the table.
 
Six ambitious companies are ready for investment but only the largest shareholder in each company earns its payout. Build your position carefully by playing cards from your hand, while keeping three hidden cards up your sleeve to strengthen your investments at the right moment.
 
Every decision carries risk. Investing heavily in one company may give you control but your rivals are watching closely. Track which cards appear, anticipate their plans and then decide when to commit your capital or quietly shift your strategy elsewhere. Luck can open the door, but strong timing plus careful analysis are what can put the fortune in your pocket.
 
As the companies compete for attention, the value of your investments can change rapidly. A seemingly harmless card may suddenly reveal a rival’s intentions, while one well-timed move can turn a contested company into your biggest payday.
 
With quick gameplay, simple rules plus plenty of player interaction, Startups is an excellent small box travel game for holidays, cafés, game nights or anyone who enjoys strategic card games with a touch of bluffing.
